Angkasapuri
Angkasapuri is the main governmental building for Malaysia's Ministry of Information and it is also the headquarters for Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) located in Lembah Pantai, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
RTM was established as Radio Malaya operating out of Singapore on 1 April 1946. Upon Malayan independence in 1957, RTM was split into two stations, with Radio Singapura taking over in Singapore while Radio Malaya moved to Federal House, Victory Avenue, Kuala Lumpur, going on air from the new location on 1 January 1959. Radio Malaya became Radio Malaysia on 16 September 1963 upon the formation of Malaysia.
Before moving into the Federal House, Radio Malaya's Kuala Lumpur activities included the setup of main office in Oriental Building at Java Street (now Jalan Tun Perak) and a temporary recording studio in Tang Ling Hospital at Young Road (now Pesiaran Raja Chulan).
Television broadcasts were launched on 28 December 1963, at Dewan Tunku Abdul Rahman (now the Malaysian Tourist Information Centre or MATIC), along Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysia's new broadcasting centre, named "Angkasapuri" began construction in 1966 and was complete by February 1968. Angkasapuri was officially opened by the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman on 17 February 1968. Tunku Abdul Rahman in his speech called the main building at that time as "the most beautiful" of all government buildings in the country, while the then-Information Minister Senu Abdul Rahman in his speech called the building as a symbol of "determination of the country to uphold truth, and freedom of thought, expression and religion" when comparing that to the Parliament building which has a similar symbolisation.
The beginning of the broadcast in Angkasapuri began on 6 October 1969 while the studios in Jalan Ampang would broadcast the final broadcast with the song "Negaraku", the national anthem of Malaysia on the same day.
Wisma Televisyen, or Wisma TV, housing RTM's TV division opened on 6 November 1969.
Radio Malaysia became Rangkaian Nasional on 1 January 1971 and became the nation's first 24-hour radio station. Wisma Radio, hosting the RTM Radio network studios, opened on 9 May 1972. RTM began colour TV transmissions for the States of Malaysia in December 1978, in conjunction with the state broadcaster's fifteenth TV anniversary. The first colour programme broadcast was Puspawarna. Colour TV programmes to Sabah and Sarawak began in August 1980.
